I'll Be Your Friend So Long As

I Would Rather Five People Knew My Work And Thought It Was Good Work Than Five Million Knew Me And Were Indifferent.

However Good A Communicator A Director Is, Unless They've Been Actors, It's Just Not The Same As The Shorthand You Get With Someone Who's Been An Actor.

I'm Not Patient, And Some Things Drive Me Crazy. In My Work, I Get Incredibly Upset When People Don't Get It Right Or Don't Respect Others' Needs.

It's Hard To Get Yourself Into A Position Where Someone Will Trust You To Direct A Film Anyway, Whatever Sex You Are. Certainly In England, The Film Set Is A Very Male Preserve. There's A Lot Of Very Rough Looking Men Pushing Equipment Around That Don't Want The Gaffer To Be A Girl.

I Don't Know If This Qualifies As Gentle Reassurance, But Right Now This Is All That Stands Between Me And A Harley-davidson.
